First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Yes indeed. How's the new shell doing?
I'm guessing the winter has slowed down progress

HI All

Long time no speak.

Some of you may be aware that last year the car came to a end at Oulton park and bent the chassis.

The damage didn't look to bad on the surface but once the panels were removed i became pretty obvious the major chassis legs were bent and the strut tower had been push inward.

Me Doing the walk of shame :(







Luckily no one was hurt and all the expensive stuff survived the crash.

We decided it wasn't the end and went out a brought a new car.

Got a pre facelift running with a MOT for 600 quid the engine was a smoker though.

We then set about stripping the old car and then bringing the new car in and stripping that to a bare chassis for a complete derust and paint before we started assembly.

good by old friend you served us well



you can really see how bent it was all stripped down from the rear



Welcome to chassis number 2



started by taking the soft top out and installing the hard top from the old car then straight in the garage to strip it down







once we had a bare shell we painted the whole thing after much derusting.



rear end painted and some parts back on







once the shell was painted we have gone about re fitting everything to the car.
we added some upgrades along the way like a lightend flywheel, everything is now polybushed, braided brake lines, new braces from megillian, brand new brake calipers ll round pretty much every nut bolt and clip is pretty much new.



So as the car stands now the front end is pretty much finished just need to put the panels back on, the rear is almost there all the suspension is back on and engine in just needs finishing off/ Then body panels back on and should be back on its wheels ready for shake down in September













So that brings us back up to date, sorry its been so long been so busy, with the car and buying my first house etc

Welcome back Tommy/Tom,

Wondered where you had been.

Good job you didnt crash at the ring, doubt you would have been able to afford a house afterwards!!

HI All

small update on the car, its getting near completion now and has finally been put back on the ground after 9 months  8)

just needs the exhaust put back on filling up with fluids and all the panels put back on, although i quite like the mad max style no panel look, not sure the MOT station will feel the same  :D

Good to hear it will be finished soon, just in time for winter.....

Hi wondered what happened to you guys, sorry to hear about the crash but good work with the re/new build.

I may have questions about high compression 1zz rebuild.

:D :D not the best timing i know, was hoping to have it done months ago but just kept snowballing, but hopefully get a few outings in it then put it away for winter and probably take it apart again got some additions that we want to add over the winter  that we're holding off on untill its back driving and shaken down 8)

Ok here's my question- not sure if it's been covered already, but what power and torque are you guys running? And do you have any Dyno plots so we can see where it all sits?

umm this is a tricky question you could probably debate untill the end of time, from the last rolling road it made 186bhp and about 152 torques. we gained 7bhp and 7 torques from adding 2zz injectors and a streetwerks bored out throttle body.

but i dont really believe what any rolling road says it gives a rough figure but it is based on so many variables like what % they choose to use to scale the at wheels figure to flywheel, what gear its done in what gear ratios you run etc etc ive been on a couple rolling roads with different results with the same car so im choosing to report the best result  :D

now if the result is correct or not is another issue, but the best way i look at it is real world tests up against known cars, for example a clio 182 with a few mods like exhaust and a fiesta ST etc which are 180bhp+ from factory and its pretty much a dead heat from second gear pull and into 3rd ect, my mr2 creeps away from both these cars, off the line the mr2 always has a advantage.

so read into that how you wish. my honest answer is i have no idea how much it makes
